Hi everyone,
I just found out today that my 7-month old kitten needs to have surgery. I think they called it "luxating patellas" - her knees pop out. Most of the time she's just sitting and dragging her back legs, although she can walk on all fours for short distances. She's been a VERY active little girls until about 2 weeks ago. She's still playing (from a lying down position!) and eating and using the box normally. Three vets have examined her and concurr with with the diagnoses. They all said that this is usually a small dog problem and is rare in cats.
Has anyone had a cat with this? How did your cat handle the surgery? Is your cat okay now?
Thanks for any feedback.
